Earlier this year, DSD got awarded player of the year at his rugby club. Great acheivement, we made a point of buying him a new outfit that he wanted and he got taken out to dinner.
Last week, my DS got awarded his black belt in karate. Something he'd been training for since the age of 7 and it was an all day physical exam as well as a theory paper.
I decided to buy him a new outfit and take him out to dinner. DH on the other hand things that his son should also come on the dinner AND be awarded another new outfit because his son got an attendance certificate at school today.
IMO, this totally devaluates DS's acheivement. He's worked for that belt for 7 years. Is it really unreasonable to want to award him with a special treat JUST FOR HIM? just like DSS got with the rugby thing?

AIBU?
For thinking that DSS's achievement is not on the same scale as DS's?
